“Blessed is the man who finds Creamware, the man who gains SHARC DSP chips, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than sex; nothing you desire can compare with her. [Proverbs 3:13-15]”

Reuters wrote: The leader of the largest U.S. Roman Catholic archdiocese apologized on Sunday for what he called a "terrible sin and crime" as the church confirmed it would pay a record $660 million to people who were sexually abused by priests.

Criminals are buying their way out....

Post by **garyb** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 9:19 pm

yes, true.

even more interesting is that after the 660 million is paid out, life can go on as normal. that's a lot of money. still, there's a level beyond that and even worse things going on that never need a payout. some of those are not connected to religion at all. no doubt, it's a lot of corruption in high places and the more power involved, the purer the evil and corruption. church corruption is only the tip of the iceberg. you know something isn't right neo. the question is how far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go?

Does anyone in this group go to church? I would like to know why. You go there and feel better about yourself? You go so you won't go to hell? What is the purpose?

not me, but sometimes I wish I did, you know, the churches with all the singing, being part of the whole sound instead of just being the sound of your own voice. I'm not particularly religious but I do think about the feeling of spirituallity, maybe that is the wrong way of saying it, but what is that when your spirit feels good, just chemicals, just mechanical, I don't know, don't know if I need to.

As I said, you very likely are in stormy waters for a while. That is not surprising locating your intellectual starting point.

But I am confident - assured by your demonstrated stable character, integrity and clearly stated vision - that you proceed.

Let me know if I can further help you with your coming out.
Let us know if we can help you as many do here in this thread in the 'off topic' portion of a music gear forum in cosy anonymity.

You want to insult me in person, is that why you need my identity? You want to come piss on my lawn or something? You want to take your fundamenlism to the next level, violent level? Is there more that you can tell me in person than you can tell me in public?
But yes, I do feel cozy talking in anonymity with fundamentalists in the off topic portion of a music gear forum.
Now, do you have something to say regarding the topic, or you want to bully? So far you keep on your twisted path of dodging and bullying and repeating what I said, anything to avoid the topic.

Bingo, you keep posting it, so I've got to ask... what do you actually take/deduce from that Exodus quote? Does it have a a meaning to you? Seriously.

BingoTheClowno · Post by **BingoTheClowno** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:17 am

Seriously?
I think it's depraved and totally criminal.
What do you think of it?

Shroomz~> · Post by **Shroomz~>** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:55 am

Well we're talking about an old text that's got more symbolism in it that most people would care to admit. Just pure guess work here regarding that quote since I'm no expert, but I think it could possibly symbolise something you wouldn't expect at all. It's almost as if it points a finger at the source of the collection of stories which make up the text. It's no big secret that the story of the son of god was likely to have been originally about Horus, Egypt, thousands of years before any (lets say) modern religion re-wrote the story. That might have already been mentioned earlier in this thread.

check this documentary out ... http://www.dailygrail.com/view/video It's called Zeitgeist. The first few minutes are quite erm.... dramatic, but once you get through those it gets VERY interesting (lots of intriguing & useful facts). Anyone who's serious about this topic should probably consider watching this documentary.

So, what does it "symbolize"?

Yes I do, and I preach sometimes!
And seeing as Miss Inga Braincell knows everything about everything, why do you have to ask the other questions?

To feel better about myself?
No, to give thanks to a Creator God that I happen to believe in.
To learn more about the faith that I practice such as how to be more tolerant of cretins like you & Bingo

So I won't go to hell? Hardly! Once saved doesn't mean always saved but I can't be bothered to explain it here because you're only looking for more ammunition to spout of at someone.- it is a daily process of re-commitment. Hopefully I'll avoid hell, but I'm a work in progress and need quite a bit of maintenance

The word Grace is important here

What is the purpose?
Oh, come on, what is the purpose to anything, if you want to go down your line of thinking. What is the purpose of owning a Scope setup?
What is the purpose of going to the pub for a social meeting with friends?
What is the point of breathing?

I cannot understand your question, seeing as how you know it all. Her was me thinking you had a brain the size of a planet (not really, I'm lying).
For all your knowledge, which is underpinned by a 100% lack of wisdom, you come over as thicker than a whale omelette sometimes.
As you're only trying to score points or set someone up for more of your venomous tongue-lashing, I'll leave it at that.
I will not be baited (cast not pearls before swine)

Can I hear an AMEN, brothers?

Obviously you need to learn manners too, and those not from the depraved priests.

Did you actually read what I wrote Bingo? If you did, the answer to your question is there, although there is ZERO proof as it was just a guess on a subject which I am no expert, just like yourself.

Watch Zeitgeist ... or don't. It's up to you.
